​A 12-year-old girl, Faith Nwanja, has told officials of the Ebonyi State Ministry of Women Affairs and Social Development how she was subjected to inhuman treatment by her mistress, Mrs. Mrs. Nkechi Bartholomew.

The girl, who hails from Okoffia community in Ezza South Local Government Area, was tortured, mutilated and abandoned by Bartholomew for being too stubborn.

Bartholomew, a childless woman and seamstress adopted Nwanja and took her to Onitsha, Anambra State, when she was eight years old.

But Bartholomew allegedly disfigured the girl.

Nwanja has shocking scars and injuries all over her body, including eyes. She also has bloodied mouth and has lost one of her hands to torture.

Narrating her ordeal, the girl said her madam always tortures her with sticks, hot iron and other dangerous weapons for being stubborn.

She also alleged that Bartholomew, who hails from the same area with her, always inserts stick into her private part.

It was learnt that Bartholomew tortured Nwanja and locked her up in a dark room. She was rescued by Bartholomew’s sister and taken back to Ebonyi State.

Nwanja equally accused Bartholomew of chaining her and that she only eats once in a day which, according to her, is usually in the evening.

She said: “My madam, Bartholomew, disfigured me like this. I was a full-fledged human being when she took me to Onitsha, Anambra State. She inserted her fingers in my eyes and inflicted these injuries on me.

“In this my mouth, she usually uses stones and puts inside it. She said I don’t normally brush my teeth and since I cannot do it, I must always suffer for it.

“The husband has never beaten me; he always gets annoyed seeing me being tortured by his wife. At times, he will summon courage and quarrel with his wife because the wife is bigger than the man.

“My madam used to lock me inside a dark room after beating me up. I was taken home by my madam’s sister who told her to take me home but she refused. My madam used to tell me that nothing will happen if I die, that she will spend her money and regain freedom if she is arrested if anything happens to me.

“I was attending school in the village before she took me to Onitsha. But since four years that I went to Onitsha, I have not gone to school. I only eat in the evening every day.

“My madam used to insert stick into my private part, she says I am stubborn. After beating me up, she will bring to gallons and placed my two legs. She will tie my legs on them and insert stick into my private part.”

Head of Department, Child Development Ministry of Women Affairs and Social Development, Godwin Igwe, described Nwanja’s torture as inhuman and degrading.

Igwe said it was contrary to the constitution of the Nigeria 1999 as amended in 2011.He said: “No human being or child for any reason should be subjected to inhuman treatment. But this child was subjected to inhuman treatment.

“This is a pure case of attempted murder, this is a pure case of attempted annihilation, snuffing of life and debilitating. Right now, she cannot use one of her hands, she is a disabled person. The head has been mutilated, she has been disfigured.”

Meanwhile, the suspect is at large while her sister who brought the victim home has been arrested by the state police command.

She told Daily Trust that she regarded it as part of the might of Allah.

“Both of them are female. Of course, one would have loved to deliver the babies without any deformity. But since Allah in His infinite mercy had decided to create the twins like this, what can I do? This is why you see me relaxed, and I love them both.

The only peculiar behaviour exhibited by the deformed twin, is a big appetite. Apart from that. She is normal like any other baby. Have you forgotten that I carried her in my womb for nine months? .

I love my daughter and I know that she is human, despite her physical challenge,” Hawwa’u said, adding that she has given birth three times before now, making the twins her fourth delivery during her six years of marriage.

Hawwa’u said she doesn’t attend ante-natal sessions, saying that she delivered her other children at home, same as the twins.

​The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission has smashed a syndicate that specialises in diverting funds from the account of the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board.

The EFCC also grilled a JAMB official based in Makurdi, Philomina Chieshe, who claimed that a snake swallowed N36m which was part of the proceeds of the sale of scratch cards.

Detectives at the commission said Chieshe revealed that the money was collected in instalments from her by her Coordinator, Samuel Umoru.

In one of the statements she volunteered to the EFCC, Chieshe who is a clerk in the Makurdi office of JAMB, was said to have revealed that the coordinator usually asked her to withdraw proceeds of the sale of the cards from her account in two banks.

It was learnt that before the advent of the Treasury Single Accounts, the practice at the time was for JAMB officials to keep the proceeds of the sale of cards in unauthorised bank accounts which led to the loss of billions of naira.

In the statement she made to the EFCC under oath, Chieshe said, “This money that I withdraw, the coordinator used it for the office and some time for himself.”

She claimed that she had been warning Umaru that it was improper to use the money for miscellaneous expenses in the office or for private purposes but he would not listen.

The suspect also claimed that Umoru was in the habit of drawing IOUs from the proceeds of the sale of the cards without reimbursing her.

Some of the withdrawals which she claimed were at the behest of the coordinator included the N340,000 withdrawn on May 5 and 26, 2014 with an ATM card. She also disclosed that she used her ATM card to withdraw N120,000 for the coordinator between June 17 and 18, 2014.

Chieshe added, “He instructed me to withdraw the sum of N640,000 using my card between June 30, 2014 and July 7, 2014.” Sources close to the EFCC disclosed that the investigating team had verified the withdrawals after a careful analysis of the statements of account of the suspect.

It was learnt that Umaru had also been arrested and questioned about claims by Chieshe.

He was, however, released on administrative bail. An EFCC source said, “The interesting aspect of the disclosure is that Chieshe’s statement was obtained long before the snake and naira swallowing testimony became public knowledge. “She was first quizzed on February 16, 2017 and made additional statements on April 7, 2017 , May 30, 2017 and June 28, 2017. “In all her statements before the EFCC, there was no mention of any episode of any snake and the disappearance of monies in her care.”

The EFCC also quizzed another JAMB official, Tanko Labaran, the clerk in Nasarawa State office of the board who could not account for scratch cards worth N23m. He allegedly claimed the cards given to him were lost in a car accident.

According to Labaran, he had an accident on his way from the head office with cards and the vehicle caught fire. The suspect also had a police report to back the claim.

But a source at the EFCC said investigation so far indicated that the cards which were supposedly destroyed in the accident were used judging by evidence secured from the JAMB information database.

“The serial numbers of the cards and the telephone numbers of the users were captured by the JAMB information system,” the source said.

Meanwhile, the EFCC has also quizzed another officer from the Gombe State office of JAMB for failure to account for N20m worth of cards. During interrogation, he claimed not to have received any cards, that his signature on the letter transferring the cards to him was forged.

​It is a tough time for relatives of a woman whose children were burnt to death by their stepfather.

Three small children whose remains were found in a burnt car in Bosplaas West, outside Temba in Hammans- kraal area of South Africa have been buried.

The little kids were buried on Saturday, according to IOL. The remains of Omphile Prince Mosana, 4, Obakeng John Mosana, 3,and Bogosi Nevil Mosana, 12, were discovered on January 2. A passerby noticed the burnt-out vehicle in the bushes and made the gruesome discovery.

The burials could, however, only take place on Saturday as an inquest docket had been opened and police investigations were pending. Post-mortem examinations also had to be done on the bodies.

The three children were locked in a vehicle and burnt alive, apparently by their mother’s boyfriend who later hanged himself. The 40-year-old man was found hanging inside his RDP house while the police were searching for him.

A small crowd of mourners, including pupils from the schools the children attended, witnessed the three small coffins sink simultaneously into three holes at the community cemetery in Ramotse Village.

A solemn and sad atmosphere prevailed as the two mourning mothers, Maria and Dikeledi Mosana, watched the tiny coffins of their children. Omphile and Bogosi were brothers, while Obakeng was their cousin.

The funeral was also attended by pupils from Bogosi’s Marokolong Primary School, who stood together near the graves and listened to the obituaries of the three boys from people who were close to them and the principal Rehab Madumo.

Omphile attended the Lesang Bana Day Care centre at the time of his death while Obakeng went to Legae La Mme Day Care.

Family spokesperson Kate Mpete said: “We hope this would teach people that no matter what may be going on with the parents, children should not be harmed. These children had nothing to do with this. These deaths have hurt and broken us. This man killed other people’s children. Those children had their own fathers.

“Waiting for the bodies to be released from the mortuary was very difficult for everyone. We were stressed about how we were going to finance the funeral. We needed a lot of help.”

Mpete said the death traumatised the mothers very much, especially that of the youngest child; he was so severely burnt that his head had burnt to ashes.

She said forensic pathologists revealed that the other two children might have climbed on Obakeng when the vehicle was burning, resulting in his head burning to ashes.

She said they were told that a burning tyre might have caused the fire.

The community was outraged and shocked when the mother of the two boys revealed that her husband had sent her a message that read “sorry my love, you can’t see the children anymore”.

​In what will come across as a really shocking development, a man has reportedly cut off his employer's manhood after killing the man.Police officers in the Batanghari Regency of Sumatra's Jambi Province, Indonesia have revealed that a 54-year-old man has confessed to killing employer, cutting off his manhood and then eating it to prevent victim's spirit from haunting him.According to Tribun Jambi, the man identified as Terusman and his 16-year-old son, identified by his initials RD, on December 7, murdered M Dasrullah, a palm oil plantation owner who employed the suspects.Based on Terusman's confession to the police, he had whacked Dasrullah repeatedly with a machete while the victim was asleep in a hut, killing him.With the help of his son RD, they took Dasrullah's body to bury it, but not before Terusman mutilated the victim's manhood."After I cut him, I buried him. I took his 'vital tool' back to the hut," Terusman said.He then boiled the manhood and sprinkled in some spices from the kitchen."I boiled the p*nis before I eventually ate it myself, so that the victim's spirit wouldn't haunt me," he said.The police said that Terusman and RD were arrested at two different locations several days after the murder and after they had split up.Terusman has reportedly shown no remorse over his actions, and admitted that he and his son had plotted to kill Dasrullah for over a week as the victim had allegedly withheld their salaries for the three years that they had worked for him, which amounted to IDR20 million (US$1,474).Both have been charged with premeditated murder, with Terusman facing life imprisonment and possibly the death penalty while RD could face lighter penalties due to his status as a minor.
